How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

askye, your birthday is on Bloomsday!

Food and booze is better than games if you ask me, Steph. Sounds like a lovely shower.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It should be good -- it's small (just my lady-family and Tim's lady-family, so about 12-14 people), in the garden at a kinda fancy restaurant, and because my family is throwing it, it's a champagne brunch. So no games and stuff. Just really good food and booze.

My mother's idea of a small shower was 50 peopleeand she's still complaining about the 20 or so people she couldn't invite.

ETA: I insisted on no games, so we had food and booze too.

We're having Father's day brunch this year again, and I am apparently a control freak. I hate asking people to bring things because I want things just so. I e-mailed someone about bringing finger rolls and she agreed to bring bulky rolls. I don't want bulky rolls. Why, yes I am completely insane, why do you ask?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I e-mailed someone about bringing finger rolls and she agreed to bring bulky rolls. I don't want bulky rolls.

I don't know what finger rolls are, but I am intrigued.

And hungry. I think I need to make some lunch.

Finger rolls: link The important part is they're much smaller than bulky rolls. I make too much food, so I like everything to be in small sizes so that people can have a little of everything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel like there might have been a couple of games at my shower, because my grandmother threw it, but they must not have been traumatic because I don't remember them. And because my grandmother was not that kind of person.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There were totally games at my shower, which was held completely against my will, hello, eloping, the whole point is to not have to do all that kind of shit.

But it ended up awesome, because there was an old dude from my church who loved me a bunch who had no idea that it was generally supposed to be women, and he came, so all the stupid girly stuff got thrown out because the people doing the shower weren't idiots.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So a bulky roll is just a bigger one?

Sparky, tons of ~ma for your sister and brother-in-law.

Yes.

Our wings are not tired.

We're having Father's day brunch this year again, and I am apparently a control freak. I hate asking people to bring things because I want things just so. I e-mailed someone about bringing finger rolls and she agreed to bring bulky rolls. I don't want bulky rolls. Why, yes I am completely insane, why do you ask?

I decided a long time ago not to ever have potlucks at my house after a couple of disasters where people in charge of bringing crucial items flaked. I can't deal with the unpredictability. I am also kind of weird in that I don't like serving things (such as chips or dips) in their store containers or bags, so... Yeah. My parties are expensive to throw because I supply everything, but I have a blast and usually have leftovers (that I like) for a week afterwards. So, I feel you in the control-freakness aspect, but nobody gets hurt and it's all good.

not your mom's socks.

My parties

Are wonderful. And relaxing and a delight to attend. End stop.
